Paying it forward

My new normal

I am a mamma bear to 4 boys. I take each day as it comes even when the worst becomes reality. I was forever changed by my son's night shift nurse in 2007, she changed my life without saying a word. I have turned these mountains into victories by going back to school, and becoming a nurse, and will pay it forward until my journey ends with a little crossfit in between.

-At five years old my son Max was diagnosed with type one diabetes. He depends on insulin, and each day is a job to stay alive, he is my hero.
